Speaking of doing nothing, does anyone remember when Seifert signed Chuck Smith? $21M contract and 1 tackle if I remember correctly. I still wonder if the whole thing was an inside job by the fuggin Falcons.

100% Poles was licking his chops. Fitt is the only GM that makes Poles seem competent. ”Hey guys, wanna see me take Bobby Hill Jr’s purse again? Watch this.”

I agree he'll be ok once we get a few more pieces - most importantly this guy...

I'm sure if anyone over there tried writing an honest headline Darin Gantt would send them a snarky email

Addition by subtraction. Sanders is straight cheeks.

Nah - being a Panthers fan is painful enough that 0-17 with no 1st round pick just feels excessively cruel. I'm not a fan of the front office (Dan Morgan excluded) but does anyone really think 0-17 would teach David Tepper a lesson? I think he'd just make more bad decisions and we'd see Chicago draft a generational talent with a pick that should've stayed here.

Sticking with @NAS request to only list 1 and focusing on things that happened post-Rhule: 1. Signing Miles Sanders. D'onta Foreman and Chuba demonstrated our ability to establish a great run game without paying a premium, which aligns with the trend around the league. I thought that getting rid of CMCs contract would give the team flexibility to sign more quality players across the roster instead of investing money at the RB position. Instead, Fitty signs Sanders, who benefited from a mobile QB and great OL in Philly, to a 4-year deal at $6.35 per year (would be #8 average RB salary this year per https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/rankings/average/running-back/ ) with a dead cap hit of $11M. Sanders has been horrible, and his fumbles have changed momentum in the ATL and DET games.

I think you make some great points Mr. Scot, but I disagree about Fitterer. Firing him won't really make the team better anytime soon, but he's been behind some atrocious decisions. The one thing that's tough to judge with Fitt is how much say he had when Rhule was the coach. IMHO he's shown enough since Rhule's been gone to demonstrate poor judgment. I agree that he brought in the guys who made the o-line solid under the McAdoo system, but before that he went out and brought in Cam Irving and Pat Elflein as his day one FA signings. Stuff like signing an injury prone Donte Jackson, bidding against himself to trade for Sam Darnold and doubling down with the fifth year option, turning down 2 first-round picks for Brian Burns only to not reach a contract extension, signing Miles Sanders after letting Donte Foreman walk... it goes on and on, not mention clueless statements about being able to plug BY in and win the NFC South.

The funny thing is that I didn't even think what I said was that bad. Was honestly just trying to make what I thought was a harmless joke in the midst of another Sunday of Panthers agony. All good though.

That didn't hurt my feelings, I was just paying you back for the poo you gave me. A poo for a poo if you will.

They should cut Sanders immediately just to make a statement. Dude is awful.

It was a joke based on the picture of her hugging Bryce at Alabama but you do you.

We really traded the farm to draft an unathletic dwarf when the 24 draft is loaded with legit QB1 prospects. I am truly an idiot for supporting this team for the past 28 years.

2 people would be upset: 1. Nicole Tepper would be upset her bae is gone 2. Brian Burns' brother would be ripping Panthers' fans for not recognizing the 2nd coming of LT

It was tempting to poo your post, not because I disagree, but because it would match the theme. IMHO, in the short term we see how much it helps when we plug Corbett back in the lineup. When that happens, I hope someone hides Zavala's helmet so we can move Throckmorten over to LG. I'd also kick the tires on La'el Collins to see if he could help.

Late in the 4th quarter the cameras will cut over to a room where we see that the cast of Impractical Jokers has been secretly calling plays and running the front office since Tepper purchased the team.

Some of the poo that Frank throws out at his pressers is Rhule-esque. I can't stop thinking about him saying in the preseason that our offense was vanilla because he was holding things back for the regular season. Calling this offense vanilla is an insult to vanilla.

LOL. If Burns is Spiderman then Thanos is snapping him into oblivion every other game. "I don't feel so good Mr. Tepper."

Interesting stuff @Jay Roosevelt How do you differentiate between solid player and contributor?

The fuggin "Football is Family" twitter post is probably queued up right now

Yeah - that's one of the reasons I wanted to caveat the PFR data. I thought he dropped more than that as well. I always felt him making a catch was 50/50 at best even when the ball hit him in the hands.

Agree 100%. I've always thought of him as being similar to Ted Ginn, so I was checking Pro Football Reference stats and Brown's % of dropped passes is actually worse than Ginn's. If the PFR data is accurate, he has more dropped passes (20) in 4 seasons than Ginn had in 13 seasons (16). https://stathead.com/football/versus-finder.cgi?player_id2=GinnTe00&player_id1=BrowMa04&request=1&utm_id=BrowMa04

On the subject of Mrs. Tepper - if Frank is fired mid-season we all better be ready....
